Destiny is an inevitable power or agency that determines the course of events. Jesus

Christ is our Savior who is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent who can predetermine our own future within the palm of His hands. Throughout our entire lives, we
misinterpret the real purpose of it all. So often the feeling of desire overpowers everything
that we tend forget about our Creator. As sinful human beings we have been degraded and
have even fallen at the lowest pit anyone can find. Instead of allowing God to take control
of our lives, our attention is then focused on the interests of this world. Ask yourselves the
following questions: What is my purpose in life?... Do I live my life for God? Or do I live
for the world?
Which one of these questions would closely answer the inherent need we have as human
beings? You see, the act of sinning against God is based upon one conclusion and one conclusion only: It is the satisfaction to fulfill our cravings. It is the desire to find the purpose
and meaning our lives play in this universe.

Even with all the wise men and famous scientists of this world, they cannot answer
this question. The theory of evolution is pointless if we are simply the products of a biological accident that took place “billions of years ago”.

You might be able to explain why we crave food or shelter. But you cannot explain
why we crave things like meaning and purpose.

seeking satisfaction in meaningl \
